Anti-LGBTQ Extremist Launches Run For NC Governor

Greensboro’s Fox affiliate reports:

North Carolina’s top Republican has — finally — made his run for North Carolina Governor official. Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, a Greensboro native who attended Grimsley High School and UNCG, announced his intent to run in 2024 at a previously announced rally at Ace Speedway in Alamance County on Saturday, April 22.

The possibility of his run for governor drew a scathing critique published as an opinion in the New York Times, calling him “extremism incarnate.” A Talking Points Memo piece recently examined years of social media activity painting a history of conspiratorial posts and attacks on other people, according to the piece.

Axios reports:

He’s filed bankruptcy three times and has let some taxes go unpaid, WRAL reported. He paid for a partner to have an abortion in 1989, despite equating abortion to murder.

In speeches, some of which have made national headlines, Robinson has called “transgenderism” and homosexuality “filth,” said heterosexual relationships are “superior,” suggested women should not be in leadership positions and said climate change is “junk science.”

Robinson appeared here last month when he declared that “God formed me” to battle LGBTQ rights.
